Description: We're a leading groups of multi-disciplinary team renowned for our research and policy engagement on climate risk analysis, natural capital accounting, ecosystem service assessment, valuation, and mainstreaming into decision contexts, using GIS-based approaches, remote sensing techniques, and community-based science. Here is a project we have built globally to enhance natural capital analysis using our globally know suits of model - InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs) models. We have proven records of working with local, national, and international organizations. We apply our tools in important decision-making contexts with influential partners, including the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the Norwegian Pension Fund, the Chilean Central Bank, the UK HMS Treasury, OECD, and IUCN, among others. With these partners, we have estimated the macroeconomic impacts of changes in natural capital and ecosystem services, created better indicators of nature’s contributions to the economy including Gross Ecosystem Product (GEP), calculated more fully inclusive cost-benefit analysis of projects and policies, and assessed business's impacts and dependencies on nature. website - https://naturalcapitalproject.stanford.edu/software
